STL11: Magic && Secrets
1 day agoThe Core C++ series has begun: http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/Stephan-T-Lavavej-Core-C-1-of-n
STL rocks!

Herb Sutter: Visual C++ for Windows 8
1 day ago@Jason:
If you watch - and listen - to the presentations here it should be abundantly clear that C++ is an excellent language to use for building high performance (employing GPGPU programming techniques via C++ AMP and/or CPU-based async/parallelism using PPL), power efficient, powerful Windows 8 Metro style apps, games and cross language consumable WinRT components...
You get to use C++ + XAML + DirectX to push the limits of user experience. You can - if you want or need to - program directly at the ABI (just like WinRT itself...) using an ATL-like library (WRL).
This is the wrong thread for the Express 11 debate. This thread - this event - is about C++ (including Windows platform-specific extensions) applied to Metro application, game and component development.

Stephan T. Lavavej: Core C++, 1 of n
1 day ago@Vish: Well, they'll be released on STL's schedule. which is rather full with shipping VC11
We'll try to get these out as often as possible. We'll have the studio ready for STL when the windows open, for sure.

The Windows Runtime Library (WRL)
1 day ago@AndyB: .NET is not legacy... Just as C++ and JS aren't.

The Windows Runtime Library (WRL)
1 day ago@Chris: Thanks for the kind words, Chris. In terms of COM/WRL C9 conversations, have you watched these? ->

I'll try to see if we can get Erik to interrogate (in a nice way) somebody who actively maintains COM in the Windows division. No promises, though. Erik really likes COM, by the way (at least in principle).

The Windows Runtime Library (WRL)
4 days ago@Jon: Yes. By all means, use C++/CX to consume and author WinRT components in a C++ Metro style application. That's the idea. Herb will explain this in the keynote (good for you for watching it - you should have started there...
). WRL is an advanced topic. Typically, you won't have to use WRL directly. It's for experienced C++ developers who really understand COM and need to program at the ABI level (this talk explains when you'd want to use WRL, of course, and when you wouldn't)...
Watch all of the sessions, if you can. You'll have many of your questions and assumptions addressed.
